This is Post Real Test Review: The contents match the exam. The fact mock tests are a bit harder than real test has granted me extra seconds on real test. Please pay attention to ALL details in this preparation material. There is no single note/advice that can be undermined. Content of 12minprep has been prepared with sincere efforts towards your success if you follow!

I wish I’d found this site earlier. My memo from the company said no prep was necessary. I decided to look around on the internet a bit for practice courses. I wasted so much time with other free prep that just wasn’t any good. I wish I’d found this site earlier as my test is in a few hours. This site is excellent. Thanks

EXCELLENT !! . BEST FREE COURSE I HAVE COME ACROSS FROM SO MANY ON THE WEB . ANYONE SERIOUS ON CCAT MUST : GO FOR THE PAID COURSE . I BOUGHT IT TOO ! ITS THE BEST . THE COPIED COURSES ON OTHER SITES ARE NOWHERE NEAR THE CONTENT THAT THIS ONE PROVIDES .

Thanks a lot! That was very nice. I’m sure without practice, just rushing in, most of us would spoil the real test and not because we’re not intelligent or smart enough. Each type of examination apart from obtaining the necessary skill requires familiarity with task types. Than you for such a helpfull tool to get to know what we should be prepared for!

Gideon has provided a free course including practice tests and supplemental study materials here free of charge. I failed my practice test with a dismal 20% but think I got kicked out as well because I wasn’t able to go back and review any answers. I have a prospective employer who has requested I take the CCAT. I will continue to use Gideon’s resources to prepare. Thank you, Gideon.

great investment of time: Solid content, clear and easy to follow, excellent resources for further study. Only nit it that the sound level was a bit soft, even when internal speakers are turned up to the max. It could be a local problem, but I haven’t observed that with other content. Thanks for making this available! Fantastic site.

Thanks for making this available! Fantastic site.

The tips in this free course were great, the practice portions were helpful in pointing out what I needed to focus on, and the additional resources provided were very useful. Quality like this in a free course is unmatched in my experience. Thank you!

5 STARS ! I strongly recommend this great resource that Gideon has created for prospective candidates. The tutorials are very meticulously complied and easy to understand. The quiz prepares candidates for the most difficult scenarios and in a way this is very helpful as it can easily motivate one to go the extra distance in preparation. Thank you.

Great practice for the CCAT. I improved substantially by reviewing the information and knowing what are my weaknesses. Thank you for your help! Best part is I didn’t have much time and the course was Free!

Good course and not too lengthy to provides really good insight in your strength and weaknesses in order to prepare you better!

I would have given 5 stars if there wasn’t a mistake (imo) in one of the examples in lesson 5: At some point a sample questions says; A speaker costs 12 (present tense) and then: its price rose by 20% and by additional 2.4 the next day (past tense). Now I’m not native in English so correct me when wrong, but according to me the answer should be 50% because of a past increase to 12 (original price being 8) and not 40% as explained to rise to 16.8 from 12.

Excellent content. Provides a great place to start for preparing for cognitive assessments. The FREE resources with practice questions are invaluable. I recommend, if you have time, to purchase on-going courses as they definitely provided me a benefit and allowed me to feel as prepared as possible for my assessments.

A helpful resource preparing for the CCAT. Good overview of question types and even a diagnostic exam of 30 questions under time-limit constraints gave me a sense of where I need to improve. I ended up purchasing the 3+1 exam kit for further prep.

Very good prep! Although I was not convinced at the beginning that this is the prep I should spend time in (as so many online resources), as much I was watching the course the more I’ve enjoyed it. The trick and links are very useful and the way is designed is covering any time constraints (12h, early birds, etc). Well organized. After each session, taking through the suggestions and study plan I could see the difference. I was improving only after a few practices. Much appreciated! I highly recommended! Best Catalina

You absolutely need to emphasize the time construct more than you do. Writing stuff down takes TIME. Also, some tests (CCAT in my case) do not allow you to go back to a question once it’s been answered.

From my extremely short experience in the field of tests like these for applying to the job, this is so far the best resource that I found. Good structure, clear examples, understandable videos, most important tips and so much more to learn and catch as possible effectively in a short amount of time that usually is given for candidates.

I only had 1 morning to prepare for a Cognitive Assessment test. This concise, hands-on course gave me the confidence and some great tips to allow me to do my best. Chock full of great resources, in case you have more time than I did, as well.

I really appreciate the course materials and advice, I’ve got a few hours until I take the CCAT and honestly I haven’t looked at questions like these in 30+ years. When I initially took the practice quiz I was decimated by the score I received. However, after going through the free course, I scored much better than average! I’m going to cram a LOT more before the actual test! Thank you, Gideon!

The test at the end of the free review repeated nearly half the questions from the free test you can take without going through the free sessions. Then when I went to make a comment about this at the end of the test, that prevented me from seeing my score report and reviewing my answers.

As for the fact that some content shows outside the course as free practice on my website is done on purpose. I give free content in more than one route, and the fact that it repeats in different sections does not make it less effective.

As for the test and its results – this is available for you via the My Account page. You can access the statistics, questions, and explanations for the test included in the course.

I’d love to help, feel free to contact me with other questions you may have.

This is definitely a life saver. I am up for a great opportunity and the employer is requiring that I take the CCAT test. I will review my weaknesses and hone my strengths with the resources you have provided.

Thanks for the course. I have been out of school for a very long time. I was told I had to take this test for a position. It was helpful as I have not tested like this in years. It brought a lot back to me, especially math, as it was never my best subject. If I had a longer time frame to prepare, I would do the paid course. Thank you once again.

I found out yesterday that I need to take the CCAT quickly, which is not common practice in my industry. This course is giving me a leg up on cramming for that test. Talk about being rusty in math…. Ugh. Thank you.

This was an excellent course. I especially appreciated being able to see which questions I got right, and which ones I got wrong, and the logic behind the correct answers. I also found the additional tips and resources extremely helpful. I would have done so poorly on the actual test had I not taken this primer. Thank you!

the only proper and informative resource regarding cognitive ability tests. I hope to perform better using techniques ans methods of this test. i opted to study and research due to the fact that practice makes you perfect. my advice is to do practice and go through this test. it will help you in shaa Allah. and it will create a difference. The free resources are also very useful. If you can afford, go through the premium material. Right now i can’t. Thank you so much Gideon.

Thank you, Gideon. We really appreciate what you are doing. Although I have yet to take the test and my online assessment is today, but I am feeling confident and more prepared after your course overnight. Thank you for that you have done.

A great help. Did the free course and it taught me a lot about how these tests work, helped me identify areas I need to work on, and provided practice test questions. I will now investigate further practice I can get with 12minprep using the paid options.

Very helpful. Great practice and insight along with links to more resources! Compare to other free offers this one delivers! Lots of content and useful information. Hopefully I am able to return to continue with some of the links tomorrow.

I had never heard of this exam until my recruiter said I needed to take one. Although I have a short window this free course helps to understand the basic and also how to go about it. Thanks it was great!

I only had a few hours to prepare for CCATBand found the videos and practice questions helpful. I can’t imagine taking with zero idea what the test would be like. I now know to guess quickly at tough math to get to other types I can answer more quickly. 15 minutes goes by very fast!

Thank you, the level and timing since like it must very accurately reflect a CCAT by U.S banks/ financial firms, will recomment once I take the test this week from a firm I would love to interview with! Really appreciate the transparency and tips, best I found for online practice!

I am a member of Mensa, scored in the 99th percentile in math and 98th percentile overall on my ACT, and this course kicked my butt. Highly recommended. I saw dramatic progress in abstract reasoning where I sucked until I learned your tips. The most valuable advice was to guess and move on unless the answer pretty much jumps out at you, which is really unnatural for me. THANK YOU!

I was grateful for this course. It provides insight to weak areas and hones strong areas through the available practice links and tests. I would recommend this to anyone required to take an employment assessment.

Excellent in that the short course highlighted what i need to focus on going forward. I was unaware of how ineffective my solutions were to solving the different types of questions required of the tests. This course only requires an investment of time … and it is worth every minute.

I am happy to have found this site. I have a UCAT in a couple of days and this pre-test preparation is an excellent practice. Thank you for sharing this and showing how a problem can be resolved in several ways.

I was very happy to find this website. It was very helpful in getting me mentally prepared for CCAT test. It also helped me finding out my strengths and weaknesses, and helped me form a strategy to maximize my score. The website is neat, and the videos convey messages very clearly. I really enjoyed watching the videos.

I particularly liked that Gideon point out sometimes people are ignorant in terms of how much time they should spend preparing for the test. I would have taken the test without any preparation if I hadn’t watched these videos. After watching the videos, I realized that I could get high score by investing time practicing.

I strongly recommend this great resource that Gideon has created for prospective candidates. The tutorials are very meticulously complied and easy to understand. The quiz prepares candidates for the most difficult scenarios and in a way this is very helpful as it can easily motivate one to go the extra distance in preparation.

Thank you for taking the time to put this together. The attention to detail and logical layout of the course, help videos, and practice resources are amazing. I took the CCAT last night for a job opportunity. I feel really good about it. I got to question 42 of 50 in the 15 minutes. I totally would not have faired as well without the help of 12minprep. I greatly appreciate the videos as well as the resources for each chapter of the course I used. This morning, I got an email letting me know I made it through to the next round of the interviews.

Thank you so much, Gideon! You are an angel! I love how you explained everything in detail and gave out a lot of free resources! I will definitely come back to revise and revise whenever I have a test and I will recommend this course to my friends as well! Again, thank you so much! 😀 <3
